Otto Heinrich Fugger

Otto Heinrich Fugger, Count of Kirchberg and Weissenhorn (1592–1644), was born in Augsburg into his famous banking family and became a professional soldier. He fought at the White Mountain in 1620, then entered Bavarian service in 1631 and captured Fulda.

Promoted Feldzeugmeister in 1632, he supported Wallenstein with six thousand men at the Alte Veste. In 1634 he succeeded the fallen Aldringen as commander and distinguished himself at Nördlingen, gaining the Golden Fleece from Spain and an imperial countship.

Appointed governor of Augsburg in 1635, he was later dismissed over his policies favouring Catholics. He died there on 12 October 1644.
